Anyone with plans to head to the zoo in the near future should do it soon or plan to wait a couple of weeks.

The Greenville Zoo will be closed to the general public from Monday, Jan. 29, through Friday, Feb. 9, for maintenance.

The zoo closes for maintenance around this time each year so Greenville Zoo staff and other city departments and community volunteers can clean, paint and make necessary repairs to areas within the 14-acre zoo.
